Highlights from this day

pbs_pip — aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler 21:56
vienna_vial — update from 25 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not miscalculated since 21:58
fasting_insulin — sanity check my maths before i pin myself with something stupid 22:51

i keep a spare vial of bac water in the fridge purely so i never rush the maths

one unit is 0.01ml. 100 units is 1ml. everything else in this channel follows from that

temperature of the diluent does not matter. how fast you push it in does

[edited]

does benzyl alcohol matter if im finishing the vial in one go

round numbers

benzyl alcohol is what makes it bacteriostatic. it is about 0.9% typically

15mg in 3ml is 5mg/ml. same numbers as 10 in 2, just more of it

thats the vacuum

my rule is one concentration for everything so i never have to think about it at 7am

5mg in 2ml gives 2.5mg/ml, 0.25mg is 10 units. good for a starting dose, ymmv

sanity check my maths before i pin myself with something stupid
